My mum - The ballads of course....anything from Old Big Nose (Bazza Manilow) thru Gladys Knight to Neil Sedaka Dad - Country, folk...well that's if you class the Fivepenny piece as folk Brother - Punk..what do you expect after the above?? 7 yr old daughter - loves Busted and Mc Fly but also loves any soul with catchy bits like Suddenly-Tony Drake (she likes the oo ah ah bit), Royal Esquires, and the Jackson Sisters Him indoors - Rare soul mainly but assorted other stuff including doo wop, strange european sixties music , folk and even the dreaded jazz Some of his albums scare me to be honest....and that's before I've listened to em, just looking at the covers

Think that mini is Mrs Manship's. Saw it outside his castle when I went down in May. Well, I'm assuming it's hers...could be his..perhaps he's taken up a sideline profession of hairdressing..maybe times have got a bit hard

If you say so.......

Yes you are correct-one of my smaller errors

I'm shakin-Little Willie John Wade in the Water-Little Sonny Love aint nothin-Johnny Nash baby don't you weep-Wilson Pickett/Fred Bridges Let him be your boy-Wilson Pickett Raining Teardrops_The Rockmasters...or maybe that's a bit doo wop??

It isn't mine- but if I can ever sneak it out of the house it's yours for a tenner I can always play her the cd...

If You Don't Come - Patience Valentine Aw please tell me you don't really like this-it makes my skin crawl. The vocal is the scariest thing ever..I can make my 7 year old daughter do ANYTHING if I threaten her with a few bars of this record

I love this tune! Ta for reminding me about it

Thought you were a regular at Womad??? I can just see you in a poncho playing the pan-pipes....The Panic is on-Pan pipes version. Or me on my recorder....

Mmm, yes. I did notice that her dad had significantly more teeth than her. Maybe she could borrow his? She sounded lovely tho.

He was great wasn't he!

There's a programme on BBC4 right now-"Only the strong survive" -Isaac Hayes, The chi-lites, Rufus Thomas, Jerry Butler and a few others -just put it on it looks okay

David Ruffin-Walk away from love Lamont Dozier-Why can't we be lovers O-Jays-Darlin darlin baby

I do a mean Carl Hall-especially the high bits It's like he's in the room........

In my crap shower it's "Am I cold am I hot"....

Have to agree, I've been into this scene since I was 15 or so but when I got into it everybody was still quite young! Wigan hadn't long finished, the mod and scooter scenes were busy so the scene had a much younger average age. I can't honestly remember anybody much older than late twenties at the likes of Morecambe, Warrington etc (in the mid 80s). I'm sure I would have been put off otherwise. I think that younger people will enjoy themselves at venues where there's a higher than average amount of younger people (like New Century), BUT the combination of not knowing the music and a load of geezers older than your dad would definitely put a lot off! It's natural for younger people to want to spend time with people more their own age

Exactly, somebody's got it who isn't a well known dj and he/she wants to sell it. No mystery

Eddie Parker was held up at gunpoint to give up his one remaining personal copy...the robber was last seen mopping his brow with a beer towel driving up the north Wales coast yelling "I'm gone".... It's real...I've seen it

Should be down for this Steve-just waiting to hear from the toad. Looking like a good 'n

Fair's fair the chap does a free events listing that's pretty comprehensive..I'm sure most of us use it. It's just a special offer he's got on at the moment which may lead to him getting more business in the future..if he doesn't carry on getting business he won't be able to afford to keep publishing it. And there are plenty of scooterists who aren't lager spilling,King Kurt dancing knuckleheads out there...me for one

It's this Thursday Paul You coming?

It's those little things that count

Ok Coxy, I await the postman with trepidation.....

Not sure if I could trust dodgy Canadian sausages...well..as long as you keep em well covered if you pack em with the 45..you can do that can't ya???? Erm not convinced
